Answer:
a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.
Explanation:
It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.
But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.
When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.

Thus the correct option is (a).
Answer:
H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq)
Explanation:
According to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory, an acid is a substance that donates H⁺. Let's consider the molecular equation showing that benzoic acid is a Brönsted-Lowry acid.
C₆H₅COOH(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)
The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and molecular species.
C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)
The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.
H⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq)
True, wetlands help to prevent flooding.
Answer:
Gravitional Force
Explanation:
Every planet has a gravitational pull which attracts all objects; the moon is no exception. It says forces in the question but I know for sure gravitational force is apart of it.
